Young People Have No Martial Virtue

Theories of Deities clearly recorded this.

If irreconcilable conflicts arose between new gods still within their exemption period,

they could apply for a Divine War!

The challenged party could not refuse battle for any reason.

At the same time, the challenger had to have a valid reason.

Otherwise, the application would be rejected.

Right now, Ma Baoguo was putting on such an energetic yet clumsy performance.

Clearly, he merely wanted a legitimate reason to challenge Ye Yu.

As for why he was in such a hurry,

it was naturally because, among this batch of new gods, nearly everyone except Ye Yu had applied for a Divine Duty.

Once they possessed a Divine Duty, killing one another would be completely forbidden.

That meant any new god with even a little strength could only set their sights on Ye Yu.

Yet there was only one Ye Yu, and in Ma Baoguo's eyes, he simply was not enough to be divided among them.

Especially with Xiao Gui looming over them.

If nothing unexpected happened, once the one-month exemption period ended, Ye Yu's Divine Spark would one hundred percent fall into Xiao Gui's hands.

Naturally, Ma Baoguo and the others could not accept that.

That was why he had come up with this compromise.

During the Divine War, he would pretend to lose control and kill Ye Yu, then seize his Divine Spark.

By then, Ye Yu would already be dead.

Would the Divine Envoy really reprimand a genius like Ma Baoguo for the sake of a trash god?

It had to be said that although Ma Baoguo's scheme was crude and lacked any sophistication,

it was practically a conspiracy.

Even if Ye Yu avoided him today, he would not be able to avoid Ma Baoguo's endless underhanded moves afterward.

He could only passively respond!

After seeing through Ma Baoguo's true intentions, Ye Yu instead calmed down.

He wanted to exploit loopholes in the rules?

So what?

How did they know that they were not also Ye Yu's prey?

Ye Yu had originally planned to wait until the exemption period ended before hunting Ma Baoguo, Xiao Gui, and the others.

But now that they had jumped out on their own,

he naturally would not stand on ceremony!

He immediately folded his arms and looked at Ma Baoguo with an amused expression.

"Please, begin your performance!"

"Perform to your heart's content!"

Ma Baoguo ignored Ye Yu's words. At that moment, he was fully immersed in his act.

His body kept twitching, his face filled with indignation.

"I never thought you, Ye Yu, were this kind of person..."

His voice grew louder and louder, carrying far into the distance, as if he deliberately wanted to alert the others.

Sure enough, before long,

the new gods from the other rooms appeared outside Ye Yu's room one after another!

In no time, the doorway was packed with people, a dark mass of onlookers.

"What happened? Why is Ma Baoguo on the ground?"

"No idea, I just got here too!"

"It seems Ye Yu ambushed Ma Baoguo..."

"Damn, has Ye Yu lost his mind? Where did he get the nerve to ambush Ma Baoguo?"

"How would I know?"

Seeing more and more bystanders gathering to watch, Ma Baoguo's performance became even more earnest.

He struggled for a moment and climbed to his feet with a groan.

Then, after taking several deep breaths, he turned to the crowd and began performing with an enraged expression.

"Everyone, judge for yourselves!"

"You all know that Ye Yu used to be our idol."

"So when I saw that he had been somewhat listless since Awakening Day, I kindly came to comfort him."

"I told him that even if his glory was gone now, I, Ma Baoguo, was still willing to regard him as my idol, as the leader of our younger generation in Arbor God City!"

"But who would have thought Ye Yu would be shameless to such an extent!"

"Seeing that I was honest and kind, he thought I was easy to bully. He actually hinted that he wanted my younger sister to warm his bed!"

"I was furious on the spot! My sister, Ma Chunhua, and I have depended on each other since childhood. We only made it this far by supporting one another!"

"How could I accept such humiliation? Even if that person was my idol!"

"So I refused!"

"After I refused him, Ye Yu couldn't save face. In a fit of embarrassment and rage, he suddenly attacked me..."

At this point, Ma Baoguo paused.

His gaze swept across the crowd of spectators.

"Let me make something clear first!"

"I was careless! I didn't dodge, and he grazed my right eye..."

"Young people have no divine virtue! He cheated, he ambushed this sixteen-year-old good man!"

"Is that good? That's not good!"

"Now I'm very angry. I can't let this go, so I'm going to challenge him to a Divine War!"

"Ye Yu, I advise you to Good Good Study!"

Ma Baoguo wore a wronged expression, his anger seemingly impossible to quell.

The surrounding onlookers all began whispering among themselves.

"Is that true? Ye Yu is that shameless?"

"You actually believe him? If one sentence out of ten from Ma Baoguo is true, that would already be impressive!"

"I don't get it. What is Ma Baoguo trying to accomplish? Isn't he ashamed of himself?"

"Who knows? Ma Baoguo has always been sly. Who knows what he's plotting!"

Most of the new gods could not understand this absurd and inexplicable conflict.

But a few of them revealed thoughtful expressions.

"Ma Baoguo wants to kill Ye Yu in the name of a Divine War? That way, he can seize Ye Yu's Divine Spark?"

"Fuck, why didn't I think of that? Ma Baoguo beat us to it!"

"Fucking bad luck!"

The new gods who had realized what was happening all looked annoyed.

Xiao Gui was also mixed into the crowd. He did not believe a single word Ma Baoguo said.

Indeed, he was jealous of Ye Yu—jealous to the extreme.

But precisely because of that, he understood Ye Yu better than anyone else.

In his mind, Ye Yu was an exceedingly proud person.

How could someone like that possibly take a liking to Ma Baoguo's younger sister?

Who in Arbor God City did not know Ma Baoguo's sister, Ma Chunhua?

With that sharp-mouthed, monkey-cheeked face, he would not want such a woman even if she were handed to him, much less proud Ye Yu!

"What a jumping clown!"

Xiao Gui sneered as he looked at Ma Baoguo.

He had never cared about so-called second or third geniuses of Arbor God City.

He had only one target—Ye Yu!

Xiao Gui shook his head and was about to leave when it suddenly seemed as though he had grasped something.

He stopped involuntarily and began pondering.

A few breaths later, realization dawned across Xiao Gui's face!

"Ma Baoguo wants to seize Ye Yu's Divine Spark?"

"Damn it, you clown-like thing, and you dare steal my prey?"

Once he understood, Xiao Gui was furious.

Was the title of number one genius really that useless?

How could any stray cat or dog jump around in front of him?

Unfortunately, although Xiao Gui understood Ma Baoguo's intentions, there was nothing he could do about it!

After all, not everyone could be as shameless as Ma Baoguo.

Throwing a tantrum and shamelessly using such a crude excuse to forcibly initiate a Divine War was not something just anyone could do.

The other new gods, Xiao Gui included, could not bring themselves to lose face like that!

Thinking of this, Xiao Gui felt utterly stifled.

Just then, Ma Baoguo's expression abruptly turned solemn as he turned to face Ye Yu.

"Ye Yu, I am formally notifying you now!"

"I, Ma Baoguo, am challenging you to a Divine War!"
